The Joy We Have Found Lyrics by The Vegabonds

Southern Sons

2012

(Verse 1)
As we start moving past, times when no one could laugh
Actions that blurred our sight, wrongs we have never made right
Hope keeps on shining through, and the future is always new
(Chorus)
Memories won’t bring us down
They stop and they turn us around
Steps we took made us proud
And that carries us now
(Verse 2)
You think you lost it all.What I’ve done made me fall
Redemption seems out of reach. Forgiveness is hard to preach
Lessons we’ve learned remain, in a steadfast refrain
(Chorus)
Memories won’t bring us down
They stop and they turn us around
Steps we took made us proud
And that carries us now
(Verse 3)
Wishing on empty stars, too many drinks in too many bars
Heavy hearts slow their beats, guilty minds fail to think
The burden will only grow, if seeds of suffering are sown
Tried to fool all our friends
They found us in the end
We changed our ways and now…We’re leading the crowd
Look at us now
(Chorus)
Memories won’t bring us down
They stop and they turn us around
Steps we took made us proud
And that carries us now
We’ve posed as kings with crowns
Acted like foolish clowns
Ignorance kept us bound
But the joy we have found, lifts us from the ground
And it carries us now. It carries us now
It carries us now
